The Cznr's Highest Aim.

According to The Vienna Tagblatt, the
cars highest aim is to be crowned
''emperor of ASIA" on the site of the
holy sepulcher ut Jerusalem. The
Crimean war had its origin in the quar-
rels over the holy places in Palestine, and
was continuation of the conflict be-
tween east and west which the crusades
left still unsettled. Every step of the
Russians toward Constantinople is thus a
step toward Jerusalem. 1t is Of great
significance that the Emperor Alexander
III confides much more upon the power
of religious enthusiasm than either of his
predecessors did. He wishes to procure
a more official and ostentatious conse-
Grafton of his religious authority, and to
have his position emphasized as the
supreme protector of the eastern churches
and the orthodox faith, and 80 rally all
Greek oriental churches and peoples
around the person and office of the czar
rs the Constantine and Justinian of the
modern world. This bold project has
been long in preparation; is never lost
sight of in any diplomatic movement,
md no sacrifice of money is thought too
great to secure this end. Numbers of
settlements Of eastern monks, Of appar-
emily harmless and unpretending char
meter, have been and are being founded,
and Russia finds the money for the pur-
chase Of the land.-Boston Transcript.

A Book Agents Scheme.

At a Friday evening prayer
meeting in fashionable uptown
church recently the brethren OBJ
served a stranger among them.
He was tall, lank, sorrowful look
ing man, with large feet and a
three days growth of beard. After
the opening exercises the pastor
requested any one might feel dis
posed to rise and state their ex-
periences for the benefit of their
fellow sinners. The stranger i'm
mediately sprang to his feet and
began as follows:
81 feel that it is good to be here
tonight" ("Amen", from several of
the brethren.) GAS I look around
me 1 find it difficult to analyze the
emotion with which I am filled.
You are all strangers to me, yet I
feel as though 1 had known you
for years. am surrounded by an
atmosphere of congeniality. be-
lieve that l may speak freely and
frankly-that l need have no hesi-
tation in saying to you all that long
to say" ("Go on-go on" from an
enthusiastic deacon.) "Thank you
brother, l will go on. l am intro.
ducing a work in this neighbor-
hood which is certain to find a
ready sale as soon as it's merits are
understood--a work which every
one of the intelligent men and
women to whom am speaking to-
night ought to possess. Its price is
nominal, being but twenty-five
cents per copy, and it will be COM
pleted in fifty parts. The work to
which | refer, my dear brethren
and sisters, is"
There was a brief intermission,
during which the stranger made n
hasty and ungraceful exit, assisted
by the janitor. Then a hymn was
sung and the assembled throng
soon forgot the sad-eyed man, who
stood outside gazing pensively Mt
the silent stars and muttering: at
was daisy scheme, and blame me
If l can see why 1t didn't work.

Patron. Of the Turkish Baths.

One would think from the effect which
Turkish baths are generally supposed to
have that they would be taken chiefly by
stout men, but it is remarkable fact
that the greatest number of bathers arc
anything but obese, and that some of
them are even cadaverously lean. The
use Of the baths has become very gen.
eral in the past few years, and they are
now regarded as a necessity rather than
luxury by large class of people. Most
of the patrons are men in perfect health,
though some few are treated for specific
ailments. The shampooers know a rheu-
matte man as soon as they lay their
hands on him, and find themselves un-
usually fatigued after rubbing him, while
the effect of working ON one who has a
great deal of electricity in him is to re-
fresh them, even after they have done o
hard days work.-Globe.D Democrat.

The parm.,ds Of London.

The $4,000 women employed in pour.
ing liquor down the huge throat OF
thirsty London are young and good look
ing. The first requisite demanded Of the
barmaid is that she shall be pretty, and
the second that she shall not fe under 10
nor over 30, though many publicans and
sinners draw the line at 25 years Of
age. Her popular name is Polly. Polly,
as q rule, has skin wholesome In its
pink and whiteness, and not averse to
little dimples. A thick crop Of curly
hair is cut close to her head, and her
eyes, be they black or blue, are sure to
be fine. Polly's poorest feature is her
mouth, for 1t is coarscly cut, and only
the redness of her lips and her splendid
teeth make one forget the glimpse Of her
gums when she laughs. A black dress,
q white collar and coquettish apron
give an air of refinement and neatness
not always native.
1t is taken for granted that Polly must
be light of foot and deft of hand. She
must be honest in money matters and
good tempered. Above all. she must not
be squeamish. To the gilded youth Of
Great Britain the barmaid is special
joy, creation for his benefit, and he is
quick to pick out the prettiest one behind
the bar. There she is, chained to her
place as securely as if to log. He can
stare at her as long and as meaningly as
he likes. He can say bad words and she
dare not resent it, because he has ordered
a brandy and soda. Then he tells her q
stale joke, or compliments her III tho
COorcnct of for,na intar1orflnd will, fro.
quent "my dears," and she has to smile
and look as if she liked it, and by and by
she comes to like it, and that's where the
mischief begins. Robert P. Porter

A Peruvian "whis.,inc jug.

Tulane museum, New Orleans, pos
sesses Peruvian "whistling jug" which
dates from the Incas. 1t resembles two
squatty, fattened bottles connected by a
bar between the necks and below by q
pipe one inch and a half in diameter.
One ends above with an open brandy
bottle mouth and the other in the form
of q grotesque human head. The only
hole in the latter is small orifice ut the
back of the head. On pouring water
into the open mouth till both jugs are
filled above the level of the connecting
tube the air remaining in the closed side
is forced out at the small orifice, and,
striking the thin plate between the two
openings, produces clear, shrill whistle.
By tipping the half filled vessel in various
directions various sounds are emitted

Hints to Mountain Parties.

DR.. Barkan thinks the European noun
tains are to be preferred to those of
America by those who climb for their
health, principally on the ground that
better paths are provided. He makes an
exception to this rule in favor Of the
Adirondacks and some other mountains
in the eastern states. In organizing
mountain parties everything should, so
far as possible, be previously arranged.
Regulations should be established as to
the gradual increase in the extent of the
daily ascents, the periods of rest, the pro-
lection of the feet and other parts of the
body against chatting and the formation
of blisters.-New York Post.

PHYSICAL DECAY IN CITIES.
What an Observer says-Physical Train-
Ing Abrond-Healtl.

Whnt an Observer SRys-Physical Train-
Ing Abrond-Health.
Lord Brabazon, in paper in The Nine
teenth Century on the Decay of Bodily
Strength in Towns" says with reference
to England: "If we could isolate the city
and prevent oil intermarriagc with the
country, the degeneration in the physique
of the inhabitants of the former would
probably be SO marked as to horrify the
public" 1t is difficult to secure statistics
relating to this decay in consequence of
the perpetual influx from the country,
but 'it is only necessary, he says, "for
an intelligent man or woman to wall,
through the slums Of our great towns" to
recognize the substantial facts in the case.
What is true in this particular in Lon
don Is even more marked in New York.
We have moro thickly populated districts
in this city, less clean streets and inferior
sanitary regulations. The national i'm
portance of physical deterioration in
towns is greater in England than in the
United States, because the proportion of
her urban population is much greater,
but this certainly should not lessen the
humane purpose of improving the con-
dition Of things in our cities. We resem-
BILE the English, at least, in being behind
other nations in giving heed to the mat
ter of bodily health and strength. cal
most every nation in Europe" says the
writer, except ourselves, has established
asystem ofIcompulsory physi-
cal training" in its schools "and spends
large sums of money in Strengthening the
bodies and nerves Of its future citizens"
In Germany, besides its gymnastic train
ing, each child at school is supplied with
sound midday meal, and if the parent
cannot pay for it the state does. In the
Swedish schools there is physical drill
accompanied by music. France has taken
the hint from Germany, and since 1870 is
paying some attention to building up the
bodily strength of her youth.
This is only one side of the subject of
health in cities. Tho other features will
suggest themselves at once. The point
is that we need an awakening to the I'M
portance Of the matter. Every pale face
and weakly body, in the tenement dis
tricts especially, is an appeal for more
breathing spaces in the city, better dwell
ing and other sanitary regulations, physi-
cal education in the common schools and
good food. If England is remiss in this
general respect, how much more SO are
